QuestionQ47

Snowflake AI Data Cloud Features & Architecture

A table has a column defined with the data type CHARACTER(25).

When the table is viewed in the Databases section of Snowsight, which data type is displayed for that column?

Explanation

In Snowflake, CHARACTER is synonymous with VARCHAR. Snowflake normalizes character-type aliases in column metadata while retaining the declared maximum length, so a CHARACTER(25) column is shown as VARCHAR(25).
